Royal Challengers Bangalore will strive to break their losing streak as they welcome Sunrisers Hyderabad in a crucial IPL 2024 game at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Monday. The highly-contested RCB vs SRH encounter will start at 7.30 PM.
Bengaluru, after a seven-wicket loss while defending 197 against Mumbai in their previous outing, tumbled to the bottom of the table with just one victory in their first six matches. RCB must get a win against Hyderabad to keep their playoff aspirations alive.
On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad enter this clash with momentum, claiming two consecutive victories. Led by Pat Cummins, the team sealed a nail-biting two-run triumph while defending 182 against Punjab Kings in their last fixture, their third win of the season. Currently at the fifth spot in the points table, a win against RCB could propel them to second place.
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium pitch has offered a surface favoring both batsmen and seamers so far in IPL 2024. While batsmen have found assistance recently, seamers have capitalized on the substantial bounce available.
